The United States Government has reduced this Thursday from five years to 18 months the maximum duration of the work permits for migrantsa decision that has been framed after last week’s deadly attack in Washington against National Guard agents attributed to a citizen of Afghan nationality.

The change will also affect those who have pending applications for asylum or suspension of expulsion and all those who present the request for a work permit starting this FridayDecember 5, or that have previously submitted it and are still awaiting resolution.
The agency attached to the Department of Homeland Security has recalled in the same letter that the validity period of the “initial and renewal” employment authorization will be one year” or will expire coinciding with the “end date of the authorized parole period or the duration of the Temporary Protected Status (TPS), whichever is shorter.”
In this case, the measure affects those “foreigners on parole as refugees; foreigners who were granted TPS; foreigners who were granted parole; foreigners with a pending TPS application, foreigners with a residence permit as
spouses of businessmen”.
The director of the USCIS, Joseph Edlow, has justified the modification by assuring that “it will ensure that those who wish to work in the United States do not pose a threat to public safety or promote harmful anti-American ideologies.
